The Future: Galileo<br />
<strong>Italy</strong> has always supported Galileo s<strong>in</strong>ce the first phase of the project which has lead the European<br />
Union to develop a satellite navigation system for civil use, <strong>in</strong>dependent, but <strong>in</strong>teroperable with GPS.<br />
Together with France, Germany and Great Brita<strong>in</strong>, <strong>Italy</strong> is <strong>in</strong>deed one of the major sponsor of the<br />
project, participat<strong>in</strong>g with 17,38% f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g contribution, and <strong>Italia</strong>n companies are directly <strong>in</strong>volved<br />
<strong>in</strong> the realisation of the project.<br />
The conviction is that Galileo will have an<br />
essential impact on the life of each<br />
<strong>Italia</strong>n citizen. Galileo will have a key<br />
<strong>in</strong>fluence on the creation and<br />
development of new mobility systems<br />
and services, both for passengers and<br />
goods transport, <strong>in</strong> a wider and wider<br />
European context.<br />
Galileo will encourage the <strong>in</strong>tegration<br />
level of systems, transport modes and<br />
networks, so allow<strong>in</strong>g the user to use <strong>in</strong><br />
the most comfortable way all transport<br />
modes to reach his/her dest<strong>in</strong>ation, by<br />
optimis<strong>in</strong>g route time.<br />
Galileo benefits will be even more important for goods transport. Operators will be able to ensure the<br />
customers a more and more efficient service and to control <strong>in</strong> a more effective way and <strong>in</strong> real-time,<br />
their trucks, wagons or conta<strong>in</strong>ers.<br />
The availability of a common reference scheme for services generated by Galileo, can promote their<br />
market development. So, realis<strong>in</strong>g the National Architecture ARTIST, <strong>Italy</strong> has created the conditions<br />
to the maximum development of systems and services based on Galileo.<br />
